U.S. researchers have found that Zika can attack special populations of brain cells in adult mice in the part of the brain involved in learning and memory, raising new questions about how the virus may be impacting millions of adults who have been infected with the virus.
The findings, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, are the first to look at whether Zika can attack the same kinds of cells in adult mice that they do in fetal mice.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory via Lab Manager
Researchers at the Energy Department's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created a sort of nanoscale display case that enables new atomic-scale views of hard-to-study chemical and biological samples. Their work, published online Aug. 18 in the journal Science, could help to reveal new structural details for a range of challenging molecules — including complex chemical compounds and potentially new drugs — by stabilizing them inside sturdy structures known as metal-organic frameworks.
